<p>MICROWAVE STEAMER A utensil for steam cooking in a microwave oven. The bottom portion of the utensil is a microwave transparent dish in which water is placed. A metal pan having a plurality of holes in the bottom is supported in the dish in a fixed horizontal alignment with the bottom spaced above the water level. A tray for holding food is positioned in the pan; the tray may be inverted to provide a second support surface configuration. A metallic cover is supported by the dish and is thereby secured in a spaced overlap alignment with the pan to substantially provide a microwave choke therebetween. The water in the dish is heated by microwave energy to provide steam which passes through the holes into the cooking region. Substantially all of the available microwave energy is absorbed by the water as the food is shielded by the combination of the pan, cover, and the choke therebetween.</p> |
